Gaza's lock-in after Sharon's withdrawal has more to do with the Palestinians than it does with the Israel. Many Israelis had hopes that the Palestinians would take that as an opportunity to get somewhere better. I think the blame on Israel for Gaza is misplaced, the situation there is totally the Palestinians own doing. There story there is also more nuanced. Gaza was first handed over to the PA as part of the Oslo Accords (well, actually predating Oslo in the 1994 Cairo agreement: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza%E2%80%93Jericho_Agreement ). That then formed a base for attacks on the IDF and Israeli civilians which eventually caused Sharon to unilaterally disconnect from Gaza ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_disengagement_from_Gaz... ). I think there was good will from the Israeli side and also from what I've heard Sharon intended to use this as a blueprint for withdrawal from the west bank. Either way, the blockade on Gaza is a response to the policies of Gaza, not an issue of discrimination, segregation, racial or ethnic. If Gaza was not at war with Israel there'd be no blockade.

The gradual annexation/settlement of the west bank is a different story. I am opposed to that. But just like there are two sides to the story in Gaza there are two sides in the west bank. The west bank isn't a story of peaceful people that are being abused, it's a story of a violent struggle between two groups (well, more than two groups if we include the surrounding countries). The Israeli settlement activity is a side story in this conflict, not the root of it by any means. You're letting the Palestinian side off too easily here, when the peace process was in full swing they could have gotten complete control of most of the west bank and dismantlement of most of the settlements. What was their response? Suicide bombings. You are removing agency from the Palestinians when you say the distinction doesn't matter. They as a people made choices the led them to the current situation.

The Palestinians want to dismantle Israel by force. Israel is opposed to that. What we're seeing broadly is the meeting of those two objectives. I think it's wrong of Israel to build settlements in occupied territory of undecided status and it's not helping a possible future resolution but the reality on the ground would look pretty much the same if there were no settlements at all given the irreconcilable differences between the parties here.
I'm actually actively researching the Grimms tales - I'm glad you linked to Zipe's translation! I think he has the most accurate and complete English translation out there, but it's still being frequently overlooked for lower-quality public-domain translations.

Gnome's integrated screen recorder for wayland didn't arrive until 2022 IIRC.

Blue-recorder, green-recorder (https://github.com/mhsabbagh/green-recorder), etc. were around to fill in the gap at the time and may still be useful for special cases.
Yeah we are for sure talking about the future here. There are already vehicles capable of handling 350kW chargers. Probably not too crazy to think that could double in the next decade.

But I am definitely not expert on this.
Glad I wasn't making that up Hah! I think the main mistake they made was throwing these in the middle of shopping centres (similar placement to vending machines). If they had managed to get them integrated into a store, and made users feel safe, it might have been more successful.
Love the idea, but I've tried similar apps in the past and they all suffer from lack of critical mass, and/or lots of accounts with little activity. I'd love it if this one were different, but Craigslist has been the most consistent way I've found to connect with musicians.

Other services I've tried are Hendrix (gohendrix.com) and Vampr

The bass player often cops it to a lesser extent as well, it's how singers and guitar players retain our false sense of superiority. We actually usually love our drummers (but only if their playing is on form, otherwise they cop abuse).
The tinder guide link shows an interesting failure mode (if true) -

It ranks more attractive men higher

Women see those first

The most attractive men are mostly there for casual sex

They get so many matches they can afford to be blatant and not necessarily polite

Women there for relationships get tired of being hit on for casual sex

Men lower down the attractiveness range but actually wanting a relationship are never seen by those women unless they swipe past the hot mansluts

Men ignored, the women who might have been interested in them leave

(the author of said link is pretty clear he thinks this sucks for everybody and thinks it's entirely fair for the women to bail out on their crap experience, so ... plausible)
Yeah malware was pretty different back then.
Energy in Star Trek is not free either, just too cheap to meter. They use fusion and matter-antimatter reactors. Once we get there we will also have more than enough energy to power the potential replicator.

Hello world,

My friend and I have developed a pixel-art monster catching MMORPG.
It's free to play and launched just 2 months ago.

It has a fast-paced, real-time duel system, which is very strategic and very competitive.
If you like to have a classic monster catching experience, you can get it for free now.

The game just released and has only 1 island for now. We're already working on Chapter 2.

Hope you like it.
Not to be nitpicky but this message also talks of jury trial, which EU countries generally don't have.
I don’t think the parallelism really helps with this; you’ll still never find the second of two twin primes for instance.

Are there any easy ways to mitigate this though? What about say adding 2^64 at each step instead of 2?

There is also an unfair comparison made in the article.

> A quick PCMag test shows that 10 Chrome tabs on a Windows 11 PC with 32GB of RAM and 2TB of NVMe SSD storage take up over 2,000MB, or 12.5% of PC memory, so there's still room for improvement (Hazel's massive Firefox session file is just 70MB).

Taking up nearly 2GB of RAM for 10 tabs sucks, but they seem to be comparing the size of the session on disk to the resident size of the loaded browser in memory, of course the memory footprint is going to blow it away.
This should be a $100b business
Should be "a usual" because "usual" starts with a consonant sound. Otherwise could sound like "unusual."
Oh, it's absolutely hard, but like many things the apparent difficulty and actual difficulty are only loosely related, and good showmanship (perhaps a more polite term for "trick") will involve maximizing the apparent difficulty while keeping the actual difficulty manageable.

You see similar things with e.g. juggling where entertainers will do a lot of things that make it look harder. This doesn't mean that it's not difficult to juggle 7 objects.
I have a Moonlander and regret listening to all of the enthusiast reviews about it. It feels great to type on, but the missing keys and blank keycaps for a lot of keys is slowly driving me crazy. I dabble in a lot of things but don't really code anymore for my job. So it's not worth it for me to customize my keyboard and layers for whatever IDE today that I won't use for long. And I switch from PC to Mac to Linux a lot, so the having to keep all the keyboard shortcuts straight in my head while using a minimal, somewhat unlabeled keyboard is impossible.

As someone who has contributed to and maintained popular projects for many years, I feel this is terrible impractical advice.

> I never once had anyone take that advice (that I know of). Why? Because it takes effort.

Yes, it does. It takes so much effort and has such big hurdles outside of your control (you have no idea if or when your PRs will be merged) that it becomes insane advice for anyone who is looking for a job because they need the money (i.e. most people).

> Usually this is not the advice people want to hear - they want to know how to get a job without doing real work.

People usually want advice that is reasonable and actionable. Telling unemployed people to spend their time working for free on hard problems for popular projects with zero prospects of it leading to a job is not good advice.

Sure, it opens new possibilities for when you really need to be able to crush rocks with your hands, but often people don't realize how much our default equipment--literally nanotechnology beyond human understanding--manages to accomplish when it comes to the total package of features and design-constraints.

Including but not limited to:

1. Supports a very large number of individual movements and articulations

2. Meets certain weight-restrictions (overall system must be near-buoyant in water)

3. Supports a wide variety of automatic self-repair techniques, many of which can occur without ceasing operation

4. Is entirely produced and usually maintained by unskilled (unconscious?) labor from common raw materials

5. Contains a comprehensive suite of sensors

6. Not too brittle, flexes to store and release mechanical energy from certain impacts

7. Selectively reinforces itself when strain is detected

8. Has areas for the storage of long-term energy reserves, which double as an impact cushion

9. Houses small fabricators to replenish some of its own operating fluids

10. Subsystems for thermal management (evaporative cooling, automatic micro-activation)
I doubt that's the case. I've been working in/near enterprise sales for quite a while now. Security is considered unglamorous table-stakes: companies won't buy your stuff because you're doing all the right things, but they'll definitely not buy your stuff if you're not.

Giant products like AWS and Azure are too big to grill about their security controls. If you try to ask an AWS rep about something, they'll direct you to their security portal where you can download a SOC2 report and a few other things. That's about all you'll get from them unless you're equally huge. The most you can really go by is their reputation. If you trust AWS, buy their product. If you don't, don't. That's all the prior research a typical < 10,000 employee business can possibly do.

My suspicion is that your friend is only talking to clients who've vetted Azure and figured "it's Microsoft: they're big so they probably know more about it than I do". It's not that they don't care. It's that there's nothing they can do about it. The people who don't already trust Azure would never have gotten as far as talking to your friend in the first place.
That doesn't seem right.

Logically, the claim "I can break X boards" evaluates to true if there exists some configuration of X boards which that person can break. They aren't claiming "I can break X boards for all possible configurations of those boards".

No one can break even one board unqualified, because the board could be 20 inches thick and made of lignum vitae. Thus by your definition the phrase "can break a board" becomes useless.
I can't even use discord in the first place because it always demands a mobile phone verification that I refuse to provide.

The signed distance function defining a solid can be parameterized by anything. Common ones are results of a finite element analysis, thereby allowing you to make the structure thinner where it doesn't need strength.

In the case animation, parameterize it by a global clock, and each frame the objects are in slightly different positions dictated by a rough physics model (like a person's skeleton).
>> you do not have a deep understanding of the subtle and complex differences between belief and knowledge

I think it goes without saying that you believe this claim to be true.

Truly amazing.
The German losses were mostly collateral damage related to the bombings of the cities. The burning of the Polish collections and archives by the German army, on the other hand, was a conscious, deliberate act pertaining to the objective of destroying the culture of the Polish nation – I refer you, amongst other things, to Himmler's and Hitler's clearly expressed intent of razing Warsaw, the nominal, but also cultural and intellectual capital of pre-war Poland, to the ground. That intent is not inherent to war in a universal sense – for one, it is a war crime, for which Alfred Rosenberg was convicted during the Nürnberg Trials – and it looks like you are generally convinced the conduct of the German army in WWII was that like of any other, and that war as carried out by Germany in 1939-1945 was war like any other. At this point, my curiosity in continuing this conversation is limited solely to the question on where you received your history education.

> P.S.: Germany still does not own the Berlinka - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlinka_(art_collection)

It does not, the German state dropped it for safekeeping in Lower Silesia and according to international law, its ownership was transferred together with the legal status of the respective territories per the Potsdam conference. Any discussion on the possible return of parts of the collection would need to start with the return of the thousands of Polish works of art held in German collections, to which, unlike Poland's legal claim to the Berlinka collection, Germany has none.

On the subject of "what to strike with", I'm reminded of a Terry Pratchett book-quote:

> [The werewolf] gave him a ringing slap and that would have ended it, except that it also pulled itself a little further up the tree and brought itself within the range of the Vimes Elbow.

> It justified the capital letter. It had triumphed in a number of street fights. Vimes had learned early on in his career that the graveyards were full of people who'd read the Marquis of Fantailler. The whole idea of fighting was to stop the other bloke hitting you as soon as possible. It wasn't to earn marks. Vimes had often fought in circumstances where being able to use the hands freely was a luxury, but it was amazing how a well-placed elbow could make a point, possibly assisted by a knee.

-- The Fifth Elephant by Terry Pratchett

A footnote from an earlier reference explains that:

> * The Marquis of Fantailler got into many fights in his youth, most of them as a result of being known as the Marquis of Fantailler, and wrote a set of rules for what he termed ‘the noble art of fisticuffs’, which mostly consisted of a list of places where people weren’t allowed to hit him. Many people were impressed with his work and later stood with noble chest out-thrust and fists balled in a spirit of manly aggression against people who hadn’t read the Marquis’s book but did know how to knock people senseless with a chair.
This is basically what I have experienced.

My current place, there are developers still using like node 10 and other ancient software, but god forbid you not fill out a checklist.
The thing linked to doesn't show it not to be true. It gives point estimates of 0.03 deaths per TWh for nuclear and 0.02 deaths per TWh for solar (and higher figures for everything else) and says "the uncertainties around these values mean they are likely to overlap".

So it indeed doesn't show that "nuclear is the safest" is true, and if forced to guess on the basis of the numbers there you'd do best to guess that actually it's second-safest after solar, but it also doesn't show that "nuclear is the safest" is false" and a more accurate description would be "wind, nuclear and solar are all comparable to one another, and all much much much safer than any fossil fuels, there probably isn't that much difference between them, and we don't really have the data to tell what order they should go in".

(Some slightly more concrete numbers: total electricity generation of the US is about 4000 TWh, so those figures suggest an average of about 120 deaths per year if that were all nuclear and about 90 deaths per year if it were all solar. For comparison, according to https://www.statista.com/chart/6024/causes-of-death-in-the-u... these are on the same order of magnitude as "deaths by lawnmower" and "deaths by autoerotic asphyxiation".)

It would probably have been better to say something like "the safest, along with solar and wind power". But everything we know is perfectly compatible with nuclear in fact being the safest, or the second safest, or the third safest.
Is C code now classed as offensive?
Nuclear is slower and more expensive to deploy than solar or wind. Nobody should dispute that. We should deploy the latter as quickly as possible. In addition, we should build nuclear plants, certainly until we’ve phased out coal and oil for primary generation.

The article describes China scaling back new plants at a slower pace—about 5 a year instead of ten–but that’s still a multiple of anything we’re doing.
I joined a similar app .. it has a lot reviews in the app store (not to say those are real lol) and i was excited to join and meet fellow local musicians.

If you thought online dating was hard and judgemental ... finding musicians to play music is even more judgemental .. if you are a good to great singer for instance these apps will keep you busy. Personally i just wanted to connect and play music without the judgement (tho do want you to be able to actually play an instrument fairly well .. strum chords on guitar and lets sing along as we strum together).

I posted songs i wrote where professional singers were singing them and those got people reaching out. Their messages were like good song and did you sing that (i noted i did not) but they became disinterested when they truly realized i was not the singer.
I didn't want to release the app without proper translations for the target countries. FYI - I haven't yet implemented the feature to toggle off "local-only" artists.
And brakes last longer, since they aren't used nearly as much.
The article makes it pretty clear the shift was prompted by their ongoing failure to meet their nuclear goals as well as a dropping cost of renewables, not by a philosophical choice to embrace only renewables.

The problem is that the people with money have no incentive go innovate, they already have money. The people without money have reason to innovate but no means to do so. So everything stagnated.
You can usually tell who these are by seeing if most of their portfolio they aren't primary investor.
They are antithetical really. AI is fundamentally about undefined behavior because we cannot define it better algorithmically (putting aside the AI algorithms themselves). Security is about avoiding such undefined behavior and only doing things that we expect. At best you have a very secured sandbox to keep the AI in, away from anything but user input and training data.

One thing I found out recently found out about nuclear that really shuts down home "great" it is as a fix for climate change is how limited fuel is for it.

Some numbers

Nuclear currently uses about 60,000 tonnes per year of uranium [1]
Nuclear is about 10% of electricity, 4% of energy as a whole [2]
There is about 8,000,000 tonnes of uranium reserves world wide [3]

For a 100% of current electricity demand by nuclear that's 13 years of fuel,

For 100% of energy (e.g. gas heaters replaced by electric powered by nuclear) that's 5 years of fuel.

Doesn't look so great when you do the math.
